I hate it when Momma works late on Friday! I can't in good conscience
crack one yet. I've an Orval, a Trappist 10, and some others singing to
me from the reefer! Is this like waterboarding, only worse? :-(
Marry a woman that doesn't drink, doesn't mind if you do, and the boozy world is your oyster.

Yeah, Fritz, them's the ones! I dragged some hottie up the left one about '74. She didn't hardly even know from belaying so it was a solo for all intents and purposes. OK, so maybe I had other intents, gotta problem with that?
Went to a wine tasting dinner at the local Frog bistro tonight. Had a fine Vouvray and a real nice Malbec to go with the killer cassoulet du porc.

Did you make it back from wherever the heck you were on Tuesday night? And how many did you have back then?
I made it back from Tel Aviv after 15 hours in a flying tube, which included a 2 hour ground hold. Got to see snow/ice in and around the city while Jerusalem got 8 inches of snow. The folks who I do business with, most had never seen snow. That was an interesting observation.
Yeah, I made up for my lack of drinking on Friday night with extra portions on Tuesday night (and Wednesday night at the ben-guerion airport lounge).

Well it's practically the tropics here in the Great White North today - was in the low 50's, probably a new record high for this date.
Global warming? Bring it on!

Good Friday evening, everyone!
This evening's selection begins with a [can you believe it?!] something from Niagara, Ontario. Now generally speaking, Niagara is a perfect example of the maxim, "just because you can make wine, doesn't mean you should make wine." But there are actually a few varietals that do well in our cold weather climate.
Ontario does make the best ice wines in the world, and if you are a fan [I'm knott] you should try one made from our Cab Franc. It's quite pink.
But one varietal that doesn't do too badly here is Gewurztraminer. And this one was on sale, and it ain't half bad. So there.
Hmmm ... did I spell that right? Gotta check dictionary dot com.
Well, I'll be buggered. There ya go. I think I deserve another sip for that.
I say, are there any Thelonius Fans in the audience tonight? {wink}

Small tittes, if well formed and perky, are just fine.....now the butt, that's where the sculpture becomes important.
edit: Will anyone here drink to that?

Hey, Fritz, man it's 5 degrees in Les Bois. Somewhat less than glorious.
Though I DID go climbing today. Somehow I can't seem to convince anyone else to go. It's really nice against that dark wall of basalt. Beats freezin', anyway. Just thought I'd give a back home report for ya there, Slim.
You'll return with a nice tan, I suppose.....
FYI edit: It's like 50 or so against the wall, even as it was 16 in town. The rock is warm, if you stay out of the wyde.

Good Friday evening, and crikey, is it EVER SNOWING up here! Went for a 7km run, could barely see the ground.
Enjoing a bottle Peirano Estate Petite Sirah, from the appelation Lodi. I figured, WTF, I might as well choose a winemaker between the airport and the Valley so I can stop in and say hi in the spring!
Petite Sirah is an up and coming varietal amongst us wine aficionados, previously just a bit player in Bordeaux blends. Look for it, especially from north California. If you can ever find Petite Sirah by Saracina in Sonoma, grab it.
